Ghazal Parveen Shakir

jaga sake na tere lab, lakeer aisi thi
Hamare bakht ki rekha bhi Meer aisi thi

Yeh haath choome gaye, phir bhi be-gulab rahe
Jo rut bhi aai, khizaa'n ke safeer aisi thi

Woh mere paao'n ko choone jhuka tha jis lamhe
Jo maangta usse de deti, ameer, aisi thi

Shahadate'n mere haq mein tamaam jaati thi'n
Magar khamosh thay munsif, nazeer aisi thi

Kutar ke jaal bhi sayyad ki raza ke baghair
Tamaam umr na udti, aseer aisi thi

Phir uss ke baad na dekhe visaal ke mausam
Judaiyo'n ki ghadi, chashn-geer aisi thi

Bas ek nigaag mujhe dekhta, chala jaata
Uss aadmi ki mohabbat faqeer aisi thi

Rida ke saath lutere ko zaad-e-reh bhi diya
Teri farakh-dili mere veer aisi thi
